An opportunity has arisen in the Community Planned therapy team for a Rehabilitation Technician on a 12 month Fixed Term Contract or a 12 month Secondment Opportunity within the service. You will work as an integral part of a friendly Community Planned therapy team, supporting registered staff to provide value based intervention.
Patients are 18 years and over with varying conditions, including neurological, respiratory, mobility and musculoskeletal deficits, giving the opportunity to utilize and develop skills in all the main areas of rehabilitation.
You will work in a supportive environment within a team of experienced physiotherapists, occupational therapists, assistant practitioners and technical instructors delivering high quality therapy to Coventry patients in their own homes.
We are committed to providing clinical supervision and supporting continuing professional development. As part of this role the post holder will be expected to work towards a set of clinical competencies with direct supervision, training and support.

At present the Planned Community Therapy service operates from Monday to Friday core hours, however the job description reflects a seven day service in case of changes to service needs.
The group is currently trialling a new Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT) model following a collaborative event with internal and external stakeholders. This pilot aims to explore team structures and assess the impact on patient experience. While no formal redesign has taken place yet, the outcomes of this trial may inform future service delivery and team configuration across the group.
If you are successful in your application, please be aware that your team structure and line management may be subject to change in the future as part of this evolving model. However, any formal changes will be preceded by appropriate consultation in line with organisational policy.
